E C Straiton & Partners LTD, Rugeley

E C Straiton and Partners in Rugeley is the second branch of this mixed veterinary practice in Staffordshire, part of VetPartners. Founded in 1942, the practice holds RCVS accreditation and treats pets, farm animals, and equines from its two Staffordshire locations.

The practice traces its origins to Eddie Straiton, a veterinary writer and broadcaster who acted as literary adviser to James Herriot. The Rugeley branch works alongside the main hospital in Penkridge, which handles inpatient care and 24-hour emergencies. The farm team covers dairy cows, sheep, llamas, and other livestock, while equine vets provide routine and emergency ambulatory services.
